Establishing and maintaining effective transfer pricing policies is a key challenge in today's increasingly competitive international financial services sector.

There are also many different techniques for establishing efficient transfer pricing systems within an organisation. This illuminating handbook provides a thorough introduction to transfer pricing and its uses within financial organisations, as well as a clear analysis of all the issues involved.
